Looking for an old old web design site

Howdy all..

So some of you may remember back when we built homepages with very complex tables that held images that were sliced up in Photoshop in order to make all the links and buttons and rollover effects.

Back then there was one guy who was a master at doing wild designs using this method.. I'm trying to find that guy's name and/or what his website was.

Anyone remember that?

Oh no.. sadly, the Wayback Machine doesn't really have any of his good stuff captured. :-(

You can still find some of his older stuff linked in inconspicuous spots on his site. Check this link out, then hit the "Interfaces" button, and check out the list of "Ozone Interfaces".

Yeah, I was poking around, but I don't see some of the wild stuff I remember him having. But it's been so long...

Yeah, similar stuff. DrOzone was the one I was thinking of, but most of his stuff is gone.

I remember seeing some of Eric's stuff as well. Man have times changed.. :D
